Bugs Bunny Follies

[Xerus]

I toured with "Bugs Bunny Meets The SuperHeroes” in the 80’s. After graduating college I
moved to New York to pursue acting. One morning I woke up super early to make an “open
call”. At 4:30 am I joined a hundred actors online to get a number allowing us to audition. An
article in Backstage illustrated, "It's not uncommon to have hundreds of actors at an open call
even thousands depending on the show's popularity." Ten roles will be cast from a pool of 500
at todays open call. After dancing, singing and reading the stage manager calls 10 numbers
asking those individuals to remain before releasing everyone else.Two weeks later we opened
in Phoenix, Arizona playing through the Midwest before closing in Los Angeles. 40 years ago I
ruined Porky Pigs party eight times a week entertaining children as they yelled, cheered and
sang along at a live interactive theatrical experience unlike the video games that dominate
entertainment options for youngsters today. Touring with Bugs was an incredible experience
particularly because I never traveled outside my hometown in PA. There you have it..a fir
hand account from a cast member of “Bugs Bunny Meets the SuperHeroes.”
"That's All Folks"!

Cool, you were in that show? Which character did you play?
